Flip digits versus LED scoreboards

All Sporting Designs scoreboards and clocks use flip digits because they are better for outdoor use.

Flip digits are better:-

* For brighter and sunny weather.
* Can be seen at more of an angle. A LED scoreboard needs to be 'aimed' the at the audience as it will be much less bright at an angle.
* Take less power: Batteries will last "days".
* Can be seen from farther away.
* Better and simplier wireless operation with better range.

LED scoreboards are better:-

* At darker times.
* When you want to display graphics and letters.
* Can be cheaper for smaller digits.

Sticking flaps. If you have any flaps which are sticking, we can come and service your scoreboard or you can purchase a cleaning kit from us. Click here for a copy of the instructions.

Scoreboard Controller

All Sporting Designs scoreboards use one of two controllers: 1. The WAGO 750-842 controller with 750-430 input cards and 750-530 output cards with external relays. 2. A Rabbit BL4S210 Single Board Computer (SBC) with external relays.
